Not all roots are equal. We originally used GeoTrust, but there were some
browsers they missed, so we switched to Thawte. The point is that all certs
will work fine in terms of encryption, but if you're looking for broadest
coverage, you need to be careful.
To their credit, GeoTrust refunded all our certificates when we contacted
them. (We were resellers.) I can't recall all the specifics, but I do know
that the WebTV browser was one they (and all the other low cost certs)
missed.

Anthony,
RapidSSL is owned by GeoTrust and uses their root so it is recognized
with every browser that GeoTrust is. GoDaddy's certs do not have the
same browser coverage as GeoTrust/RapidSSL, and it therefore they aren't
as good as they look.
To boot, a place called ServerTastic has unbelievable prices on the
certs. Just buy your credits from them:

Domains that aren't flagged by their anti-fraud measures (things like
"bank" or "finance" in the domain name) take about 3 minutes from start
to finish if you have everything in front of you.

Someone here mentioned RapidSSL.com for SSL cert's, they are a lot
cheaper then Verisign. But in searching the net, godaddy.com has one
for $19.99 per year, and another for $89.99 per year. Has anyone used
RapidSSL or GoDaddy and had good luck? Any problems with using them?
What do others use?
Thanks,
